Nice grips, what are they?

They're ODI Ruffian road grips. I think they were only around $8. I like the gel grips, less vibration in the hands.

Fired her up tonight. Ran great for the 20 seconds I let her go. Couldn't run her too long cause the tank is at paint and I was just using a hose filled with fuel. Should have the tank back by Thursday, so we'll get her all tuned then and I'll add some video.

Ordered a new battery because I never could get a strait answer from any forum or from the "tech" squad at Ballistic (btw, they're pretty much dicks over there). It's sad that I couldn't find another company that made a battery in the correct size and Ah as ballistic, so I ended up ordering another one of their batteries. Hopefully this one will suffice...

Gonna be a sweet ass bike dude. I've got a cb160 tank I want to put on a 360 soon so I'm looking for ideas. Good job.

That should look sweet. I'm thinking of doing a 160 after I finish the '68 350 brat. I love these old "toaster" tank bikes.

Yeah I hear ya. Wish I could get moving on bikes more instead of everything else. Been putting orders together for the aftermarket cb 360 cam chain guides, running a business, renovating the house, etc. wears you down. It'll look pretty frickin sweet though.

Tank is back from paint. Just gotta finish the exhaust and put an end on the clutch cable, then out for a ride...

 

[CresentSon]

Well done sir.

Looks really good sir!

Looks nice, but please fit a front fender and or fork brace. Stock front forks are as stiff as a pack of Twizzlers.

Any recommendations on a fork brace, and where would it mount to? I can't clip on to the forks as the springs are in the way. I don't think the chrome pieces are not strong enough for a clamp and the fender mounts only have one hole and probably wouldn't give any more support than is currently available. I haven't found any fenders that go with the look, not even the CL77 or the CB160...

Some finished pics. The mirror will be removed. Vibrates too much and is basically useless. Built to sell and goes on eBay next week...

CYB77

The bike has been done for a while, but I decided to change the wheels and tires and that alone made a huge difference. Here are some pics we took yesterday.

I can dig it.

Is that one of hose Thailand seats? I was wondering how it would hookup on my cb160 but didn't want to even try to find an OG CYB seat.

No, it's a real CYB seat. Found it in a junk yard on a Honda Dream trike thing. Cost me a bill back then and then I had it recovered.
